Entzünde dein Kosmo - S1-E2

Continuity mistake: Seiya creates a large crater in the arena, deep enough that he has to step out of it to offer his handshake to his adversary. Cassios refuses the handshake and kicks him, making Seiya jump away. He then charges at Seiya in a straight line, as if the crater didn't exist, but when Shaina screams at him telling him to get out of the way, Cassios is exactly on the edge of the massive hole. It's as if he walked on air during his charge. (00:06:20)

Continuity mistake: The team has to come up with a plan to handle The Truth. Destiny's friend Willow stands up and says "So look, here's my plan." Destiny announces she has a better one; during this exchange, the phone in Cristine Prosperi's hand switches hands. (00:11:30)

Death in Paradise (2011)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Brainstorming with the team about the murder one final time after the news about the bank statements of Dr. Tate, Goodman has the cheap watch in hand. The watch switches hand when he says "saying that he wants you to have something to remember him by." When he leans against the whiteboard from behind, arms over it, there's another switch - this time with a short cutaway but still in an impossible switch considering his hands position. (00:33:30)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the scene set in Dr. Ivann Tate's study, Florence asks a question in close-up. The shot immediately following that reveals she has her pen up, which should have been visible. (00:32:00)

Death in Paradise (2011)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Humphrey's line about Vincent Garcia being a victim of Mt.Clair is repeated in flashback when he speaks with the widow at the secluded house, but it cuts mid-sentence to a wider angle where he has his arms raised in lack of continuity with the rest. And when he asks outside of the flashback "The boy who died." his arm changes position between shots as well. (00:29:00)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Cedrik's brother rejoinders to Ivann's claim about the victim being drunk, saying that he was tipsy, not quite falli-over drunk. There's a cut mid-sentence, and Temmy Verga's hand jumps abruptly from mid-forearm to wrist. (00:15:25)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Cedrik has been murdered, seemingly; the crew then goes for beers at Catherine's. Dwayne holds between his fists the memento from his friend. His hands are closer by when Goodman asks why would he do nothing to protect himself, but they are still holding the chain in its length when Florence adds another question. (00:12:30)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Dwayne and Humphrey take a walk from the sidecar to Cedrik Verga's house. The shadows on the road differ between shots - easy to notice looking at the parking markings. (00:06:30)

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: At the end of the ceremony, Dwayne and the other friends of the deceased are walking out of the church. The woman with the golden hat in the background changes position, shaking hands next to the closed window, but moving close to it only in a later shot, as she is still seen walking out of the open door when Dwayne steps down after taking a sip in memory of Cedrik.

A Personal Murder - S5-E4

Continuity mistake: Dwayne takes a sip from the flask at the exit of the church. When he gives it to the priest, his friend has both hands on the fence, but at the cut he's wiping his eyes with the left hand, only the right hand is on the picket. (00:01:30)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Dwayne's bottle of Etensel is facing opposite directions when he tries to act as if he didn't see his boss embarrass himself at the bar; the label faces the camera when the camera is to his right, and to his left. (00:50:35)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: After the mishap at the bar counter, Humphrey reunites with Dwayne and Florence. He puts the glass on the table when he sits down, but in the next shot he's still holding it and only after a while he puts it back down. (00:50:40)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: In an uncharacteristic display of authority, Humphrey orders Sadie Mernier to go back to her chair and answer the rather personal questions. She walks back with her shades in her right hand, and in the shot when she slumps back in the chair, the sunglasses are in the left. (00:37:10)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Humphrey sat down with the photographer, and asks him about the incident that bankrupted his previous agency. He says "Of course I would", scowling and putting the right hand on his left arm. Reverse shot, and his hand is on his knee. (00:34:05)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Florence advises Humphrey to "just be yourself." The slice of lemon is on (her) left side of the glass. Reverse shot and it's the right side, then it is back on the left side, where it remains for the rest of the scene. (00:28:35)

Posing in Murder - S5-E3

Continuity mistake: Florence walks towards Goodman reading the post-mortem results; before the cut, you can see Kris Marshall's chin leaning on his right hand, but he has the opposite hand up and the right one down when he comments on the 'small mercies'. (00:23:20)
